      The degrees of violations are specified in Appendices 1, 2, 3 and 4 to these Criteria.

      13. To assign the entity (facility) subject to control to the risk level, the following procedure shall be applied to estimate the risk degree indicator.

      If one gross violation is detected, the risk degree indicator of the entity (facility) subject to control shall equal 100 and preventive control shall be carried out in relation to it with a visit to the entity (facility) subject to control.

      In the event that no gross violations have been identified, the total indicator for violations of a major and minor degree shall be calculated to determine the risk degree indicator.

      When determining the indicator of major violations, a coefficient of 0.7 shall be applied and this indicator shall be calculated using the following formula:


      SРз = (SР2 х 100/SР1) х 0,7,


      where:


      SРз - is indicator of major violations;


      SР1–required number of violations;


      SР2 – number of detected violations;


      To define the indicator of minor violations coefficient 0,3 shall be applied and this indicator shall be calculated by the following formula:


      SРн = (SР2 х 100/SР1) х 0,3,

      where:


      SРн - is indicator of minor violations;


      SР1 - required number of minor violations;


      SР2 – number of detected minor violations;


      General indicator of the risk degree (SР) shall be calculated on 0 to 100 scale and shall be determined by summing up the indicators of major and minor violations by the following formula:


      SР = SРз + SРн,


      where:


      SР –general indicator of the risk degree;


      SРз – indicator of major violations;


      SРнindicator of minor violations.


      14. Based on the priority of the information sources used in accordance with the criteria for assessing the risk degree of the regulatory state body, in accordance with paragraph 13 of these Criteria, an overall risk index shall be calculated based on subjective criteria on 0 to 100 scale.

      Pursuant to the risk degree indicators, the entity (facility) subject to control shall be assigned:

      to a high degree of risk - with an indicator of the degree of risk from 61 to 100 inclusive, and preventive control shall be carried out in relation to it with a visit to the entity (facility) subject to control;

      not related to a high degree of risk - with an indicator of the degree of risk from 0 to 60 inclusive and no preventive control with a visit to the entity (facility) subjected to control shall be carried out in relation therero..

Chapter 4. Final Provisions

      15. Preventive control with a visit to the entity (facility) subjected to control shall not be conducted more than once a year.
